Australian's #SocialMediaBan for Under 16s is now active. The rapid, convoluted lead-up to the ban has meant there are a lot of myths about what it is supposed to do, & what it will do.
It's vital teens, parents & other trusted adults do not have a false sense of security; online risk are not gone.
Many parents and trusted adults believe the ban will stop cyberbullying. Unfortunately, it won't.

@tama@aoir.social My fellow students were quite innovative in working out how to cyber bully me in the 90s. I don't think kids have gotten any less wily since then.
